Player Variable

Hello Bukkit People,

I need some help with getting a player. I don't really know if that is the right title for this but I have made a plugin where it check if a player has played before and if they haven't and if they have it's sends them a message like

Welcome Back

But if they haven't send them a message like

Welcome to

I need some help on getting the player name, like in the config so %player% means get the player's name so it will say

Welcome Back, %player% in the config and then In-Game
Welcome Back, badboysteee98

So basically I think setting %player% to a player's name in the config
So if I haven't explained this very well never done stuff like this before

 

The player class has a method named hasPlayedBefore, with that you can check if the player is new.
For the message, use the replace method. Example

Code:

String message = "Welcome back %player%!";
message = message.replace("%player%", player.getName());
